In 1989, he moved to Mumbai to start his own business, initially working in manufacturing TV parts and clothing before venturing into film production.
The Bhagnani family is deeply involved in the film industry. His son, Jackky Bhagnani, is an actor, film producer, and entrepreneur who has acted in several films produced by his father, while his daughter, Deepshikha Deshmukh, is also involved in the family's production business.
Vashu Bhagnani's career in film production has seen both highs and lows. After a string of successful "No. 1" movies in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he faced financial setbacks with the failure of Anupam Kher's directorial debut Om Jai Jagadish in 2002, which led him to temporarily shift to real estate before making a comeback in film production.
